__________
First published in 1977, Myrna Kostash's legendary book πππ ππ§ ππ’π£π’'π΄ ππ©πͺππ₯π³π¦π― is approaching its 50th anniversary.
πππ ππ§ ππ’π£π’'π΄ ππ©πͺππ₯π³π¦π― investigates the darker corners of Canadian identity, celebrates a people's βgreat adventureβ and has become part of the literary heritage of the West. Myrna's probing of the experiences of three generations of Ukrainians in Canada rapidly became a bestseller.
Today, the book continues to attract its new readers, and much interest in this seminal work is also growing in Ukraine. What does πππ ππ§ ππ’π£π’'π΄ ππ©πͺππ₯π³π¦π― mean to today's Ukrainian community in Canada? How can we 'translate' the book for new audiences at home and internationally?
Join Myrna Kostash in conversation with Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies Director Natalia Khanenko-Friesen, and Olia Poliukhovych, literary critic, scholar, and VP of Research and Academic Affairs at Kyiv Mohyla Academy, as they discuss the writing of πππ ππ§ ππ’π£π’'π΄ ππ©πͺππ₯π³π¦π―, its impact across the years, the broader community understanding of Ukrainian Canadians, and the revived interest in this work in Ukraine.
All are welcome! Attendees must register.
